OK, over the past couple of days, I worked up a full arrangement of HIAB for my band. It's in a Word document. In the past, when I've tried to cut and paste from Word into a post, all of the spaces get compressed, the colors are lost, etc. and it looks like crap. Is there any better way I can to do this to share my arrangement here?

“[P]ersonally I disagree with the general philosophy of ‘genre equals gear’ at anything beyond a cosmetic level. I think the right idea is to find the right amp for you, and then play whatever kind of music you like. The “Jerry Thing” was just Jerry. It wouldn’t have mattered what he used and he used a lot of stuff.” Steve Kimock (The Gear Page 04/08/18)

FWIW, this is what cutting and pasting the text directly into a post looks like. Same problem - where I had spaces in my Word document so those chords and tab I placed *above* the lyrics would line up right, it looked right in the box but when I submitted the post, the spaces were all deleted by the programming in what follows below. So I've gone back and replaced the spaces with dashes. Where I have D/C#, I'm finding myself actually just going down to the C#5. Hope it's helpful!

VERSE 1
Well I was C#7 drinking last Em night with a B biker,
and I C#7 showed him a Em picture of B you.
I said, [1st pos.] E "Pal get to A know her, you'll like her" [quick!] D D/C# A B
A seemed like the least I Bb could B do. [4th pos. short sign. lead line beg. w/ quick D-Eb]

VERSE 2
‘Cause C#7 when he's Em charging his B chopper,
up and C#7 down your Em carpeted B halls,
You will [1st pos.] E think me by A contrast quite proper, [quick!] D D/C# A B
never A mind how I stumble Bb and B fall. [4th position very short sig. lick]
Never A mind how I stumble and B fall! [TOMS |||]

CHORUS
F# You imagine me sipping champagne from your boot,
------------------------D A ---- A^B | A
for A taste of your elegant pride
I may be E going to Em hell in a B bucket, A babe,
but at E least I'm en-Em-joying the B ride, A
at E least I'm en-Em-joying the B ride, A
at [A] least I'm enjoying the B ride. [TOMS ||Yeah!|]

VERSE 4
Well we C#7 know you're the Em reincar-B-nation
of the C#7 ravenous Em Catherine the B Great.
And we [1st pos.] E know how you A love your ovations [quick!] D D/C# A B
For the A Z-rated scenes you Bb cre-B-ate. [4th position very short sig. lick]
The A Z-rated scenes you cre-B-ate. [TOMS |||]

CHORUS
F# You imagine me sipping champagne from your boot,
------------------------D A ---- A^B | A
for A taste of your elegant pride
I may be E going to Em hell in a B bucket, A babe,
but at E least I'm en-Em-joying the B ride, A
at E least I'm en-Em-joying the B ride, A
at [A] least I'm enjoying the B ride. [TOMS ||Yeah!|]

There E may come a Em day I will B dance on your A grave
If un-E-able to Em dance, I will B crawl across it A
If un-E-able to Em dance, I will B crawl A
Un-[A]-able to dance, I'll still B crawl. [TOMS ||Yeah!|]

I can't [1st pos.] E think of a A place that's more perfect [quick!] D D/C# A B
for a A person as perfect Bb as B you. [4th pos. short sign. lead line …]

VERSE 6
It's C#7not like I'm Em leaving you B lonely
‘Cause I C#7 wouldn't know Em where to be-B-gin,
But I [1st pos.] E know that you'll A think of me only [quick!] D D/C# A B

you can use the code function, I believe
to try to post a more as is spaced end product of a song

It's just like posting photos, with your img tags at beginning and end of your jpg address (except you use code tags). With photos you insert an address from online, which you get off a free online photo host such as photobucket or shutterfly. With this, try to just highlight/copy/paste from Word directly between the code tags. Hit preview to tweak and adjust then submit.

Totally missed your previous posts about your 7/2/87 video! Doesn't sound bad at all, but man, these 3rd gen AUD cassettes I got shortly after the tour were (and are still) absolutely incredible in the clarity and punch of the bass and all round quality. Sorry I don't know the pedigree. Probably be wise to take down your login info... the entire forum is web/google/bing searchable. Many thanks for that tasty clip... memories!!

Hey this is an old post I know, but I'm currently digging into Bucket for the first time. I tend to re-invent the wheel when I learn songs, and just figure it out by ear, instead of using tab, because it keeps my ears sharp. This one was giving me fits because there is so much cool subtle stuff happening in the chords. I really appreciate all the posts here, it helped a lot!

I've been using this chord in the verses instead of the C#7, (on the first line..'.I was drinking') and I really like it...give it a try.

I don't know what it's called...could call it a B b5 maj6 9....but I am not a trained theory expert, so just a guess.
